I would refuse to do any work and hand in anti religious essays

Thats pretty much what I did

It was only an end of year exam paper, there was 1 piece of coursework that I did in like 1 hour. Easiest course ever.

Did you choose RE or was it enforced upon you?

 

[Nicole]

We were given these 4 options, kinda like "routes" so I choose to do ICT instead of DT (Design Technology) I sucked at it really. And because I choose that I had to do RE, but I didnt mind it, surprisingly.

and stories about so and so doing something in the desert

Like I said, it wasnt exactly religious education, cause we covered topics that had nothing to do with religion.

Every single year of school I had religious education. It got really boring. I had bad grades

I suppose the other favourite is to discuss ' ethics ' and whether its ethical to do something or not.

sorry i dont know how european gradign scales work. are gcse's sort of the equivelant to SAT's here?

 

[Dan]

no clue. Just things you take when you are 15-16 years old.

Not multiple choice, btw.

yea thats the same as SAT's , except most people are about 16-17 i think when they take them. i dont have to until next school year.

good luck with them. Though every europeon student knows that Americans get it easy with their work load in school. :down:

Yep, thats it, more like ethics and moral debates.

Sebi: We have SATs here in the UK, but you take them in Year 9 (13-14 years old) the only thing it determines is wherever your in Set 1,2 or 3...(Basically: 1 = Clever, 2 = Average, 3 = No hope)

Tell me about it.

About religious education - did they teach you (all of you who had it) about ALL religions? Or just Christianity?

We never took them- but doesnt matter. I got in the high class for everything apart from french.

When I used to go to english school when I was very little (6-10 years old) we used to be only taught bible stories and christian things. Looking back on it, our 3rd grade teacher was a religious nut.. she used to read bible stories to us and preach the word of their God.

Someone quote this for Erik...

We learned about most of the mainstream ones, Islam, Christanity, Judism (I think thats what its called), Hinduism and Buddism as well as some other ones.

yes yes i know. trust me, every time i complain about work, both my european immigrant parents ***** at me for being so ungrateful and about how much harder it is over there. i do go to a school that happens to be much harder than the average around here though

You're off the list, Nicole.

At least your version is objective then. Usually they only teach the Christian crap.

work is still work, but you have it easier then us.

I mean when you have to learn for TESTS that are multiple choice... how can one not be consistently getting A grades the whole time.. surely when you see the answer right infront of you a little light goes on in your head and says: Yes it was 1776 the delcration of independace was signed.

did anyone else have to take random bullshit state testing every year, that served absolutely no purpose, and noone ever sees your scores other than you and your parents?
